Lauren Boebert's Republican Challenger Raking In Endorsements As Her Career Dies

Lauren Boebert is in serious trouble of not even making it past her primary race next year, as voters and high-profile Republicans in Colorado cite her "improper behavior" as the reason that they are dumping her. The straw that broke the camel's back appears to be her actions during the Beetlejuice Musical performance a few months ago, and Republicans in her state are NOT letting go of their anger over that event. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Things are going from bad to worse for Lauren Bobert in her home state of Colorado as her opponent Jeff Heard. Now, before I continue, keep in mind Jeff Heard is not her election opponent. Jeff Heard is the Republican running against her in the primary in her district. But Mr. Herd has once again picked up some high profile endorsements from state lawmakers that are very popular in Colorado, and Lauren Bobert is left with absolutely nothing. The latest person to endorse him is, uh, state Senator Janice Rich of Grand Junction, uh, who said she usually doesn't endorse one Republican over the other, but decided to make an exception in this case because she really does not want Laura and Bobert to win that Republican primary. Mr. Herd, of course, has also, uh, been picking up lots of money. He has not quite outraged Lauren Bobert, but he is catching up to her.

Her money is going down. His money is going up. So eventually he is going to overtake her in the money race in Colorado. And if this happens, Lauren Bobert is gonna be looking at a Madison Cawthorne situation where she's gonna have to, after her primary next year, likely just sit there for the rest of the year knowing that she doesn't have a job. Come January. She, she'll have nothing. And the funniest part to me, the reason I'm even talking about this is just to show everybody, in case you didn't know, I'm sure you do, but let me just explain this, how simple little actions can have such a massive impact. Because if Lauren Bobert had not gone to Beetlejuice the musical in September, I know it, it feels like it was only yesterday. If you were talking three months ago, if she hadn't done that, none of this would be happening because it was her behavior at Beetlejuice.

The musical groping her date, vaping indoors, right near a pregnant woman. Um, had it not been for that, these voters would've been cool with it. You know, they were already on the fence. Let's be real. They were already on the fence about Lauren Bobert. They knew that she'd only won by, you know, less than 600 votes the previous year. They were already growing tired of her and her antics in Congress, but they were like, you know what? We'll forgive it. Okay, we can get by with this. We can continue, we can make do with what we got here. But once the Beetlejuice incident happened, game over, her opponent, Jeff heard at that point, began raking in tons of money, the endorsement started rolling in for him. Lauren Bobert has not been back in the spotlight really since then. She's done a couple stupid things in Congress, but she's been

Trying to keep a low profile and that's been very obvious. We have gone several months now without a new embarrassing Lauren Bobert story. But the thing with the voters in Colorado, 'cause they see this too, they're paying closer attention than the rest of us are. Because that's the representative, it tells us that she can turn it on and off. That's the funniest part, because she's now, ever since the Beetlejuice thing, she hasn't had a major scandal since then. Even though she's had lots and lots, you know, prior to that, even when her voters said, Hey, tone it down, she wouldn't do it. But now she has, which only proves to the voters, okay, she could've done that the whole time. She just didn't do it. She was making the choice to be this lunatic and we're done. Now, it's not just the Beetlejuice thing that makes voters say, I'm sick of her.

I don't want to deal with her. Their real concern, of course. Same thing with the people that have endorsed Jeff, heard over Bobert. It's not that they don't like Bert's behavior, they just think that Bert's behavior, coupled with her narrow victory last year, means that that seat could go to a Democrat next year. And that's what scares them. If they thought Bobert could still win, they wouldn't have any qualms about supporting her through her Beetlejuice, you know, meltdown. But because they think it'll cost her election, the election, that is why they're going to Jeff Herd.
